    BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG

    Name: Kendra

    Show Name: Cameo’s Centerfold

    Beauty Secrets: To ensure that Kendra truly dazzles under the spotlights, owner-handler Laura Fourre of Edina, Minnesota, uses several shampoos to bring out the beauty of her thick coat.  A special purple shampoo is worked into the area of white fur to accentuate the whiteness, and a volumizing shampoo is used all over her body to fluff her out even more.

    “I also use a special K9-II hair dryer that is very powerful to add extra volume to her over all look,” says Fourre. But when she’s not getting ready for a show, Kendra is like any human pageant contestant that doesn’t worry about hair and makeup; she likes to run around the horses in Fourre’s barn and play dirty with the other dogs in the household.
